Ziona is our Violence Against Women and Girls Outreach Lead and she has been working for JWA since 2012. She trains Jewish professionals about domestic abuse and non-Jewish professionals about additional obstacles and challenges to reporting domestic abuse for Jewish women. Ziona is an integral part of the Advocacy Team. After previously working with Jewish survivors of domestic abuse, Ziona is passionate about raising awareness of the issues that women face and breaking down the barriers to accessing support.

“It has been a privilege to fly the flag for JWA and raise awareness of the issues of domestic abuse and sexual violence in the community.  With the knowledge that professionals have received training on the sensitive issues that affect Jewish women and girls our frontline team are able to reassure our service users that they will be supported by these organisations in a culturally sensitive manner, this is an invaluable asset when working with both vulnerable and marginalised women.”
